Makes you wonder what could have been.... Neither of these sides are much cop!. There again any neutral watching our match last year would have said the same.

"They (Crawley) had a two year plan to get promoted and it looks as though they are about to achieve that."

Fair play to Crawley and Scott Lindsey. They were predicted to go down by many pundits ect. Most of their squad was signed from Non-League, it just goes to show the quality you can find down there if you look hard enough.

They are the team for us to emulate next season. Play football the right way but understand that you still need good defenders and a sound keeper to win a game. We just completely neglected the ugly side of the game last season. Very pleased for Crawley - and also that Crewe didn’t go up. Their fans were a real pain when they won at Gresty Road last November.

That could well have been us IF we had a manager who knew what he was doing..

I’m inclined to agree with this. A lot is said about player recruitment but manager recruitment is far more important. Crawley recruited a lot of players from NL? Says a lot really, are those players much better than what we have….or just organised better?

Would anyone fancy Notts getting a result in a ***** playoff game with Maynard in charge? I feel more IB about him than LW. I appreciate what the club are doing, they’ve done some great work, but I’m not feeling confident with our current managerial setup taking us into the new season.

Happy with that, good to see a manager who instills an attacking identity take a team up.

The final was between the teams that finished 6th and 7th in the league. Crewe had won only one of their last six matches and Crawley only one of their last five and scraped into the play offs due to Barrows end of season collapse taking only 2 points from a possible 18 costing Wild his job. Funny old game.
